The serialisation of ingots

The serialisation of ingots

To be placed on the market, ingots must meet specific quality standards, especially regarding purity and weight; also, they must carry specific information about traceability.

the new frontier of induction melting

THE NEW FRONTIER OF INDUCTION MELTING

A great architect once invented the “less is more” concept to suggest that, at the project stage, you should always choose minimalism over complexity.

Tera Automation’s 2023 in a nutshell

Tera Automation’s 2023 in a nutshell

2023 is running out. It’s time to look back at what we have done and set our sights to future challenges and opportunities. This article aims to give an overview of the events that marked our 2023, just in case you missed something along the way.

Bin Picking for even more performing automation

BIN PICKING FOR EVEN MORE PERFORMING AUTOMATION

Among the many innovations that are making robot islands increasingly efficient and high-performance, Bin Picking is undoubtedly one of the most interesting.

Thermo fluid dynamic simulation and industrial design

THERMO FLUID DYNAMIC SIMULATION AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

For industrial design in general – and for the precious metals sector in particular – digital processes and tools are increasingly important. These resources, in fact, offer the possibility of increasing the level of detail of the project and carrying out real simulations.

Graphite ingot molds for the production of top-quality ingots

Graphite ingot molds for the production of top-quality ingots

Known since ancient times as a tool for writing and decorating, graphite is a black carbon-based crystalline solid that occurs in nature in various forms, including flat hexagonal crystals and amorphous particles.

T-Barmaster Pd/Pt, the innovation for the continuous production of gold, silver and PGM bars

As we know, 2035 will mark the beginning of the green electric vehicle revolution and will thus be a turning point for the metal market.

An automated industrial line that optimizes production

An automated industrial line that optimizes production

It was 1959 when industry and civilization saw for the first time a robot replace man in the strenuous tasks of the General Motors assembly line. That day marked the incipit of an increasingly automated and optimized production in which robots became protagonists.

A new design for T-Barmaster

A new design for T-Barmaster™

Our T-BarmasterTM tunnel furnace is the flagship of the Tera catalogue. The process which led us to revise its exterior was very natural and a direct consequence of our customers’ great passion for this product.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION FOR THE FOUNDRY SECTOR

From large steel mills to small goldsmith companies, the foundry plays a central role in the quality of the products introduced into the industrial and commercial circuit. And when we talk about casting, it is linked to a harsh work environment, with high temperatures and the need for special Personal Protective Equipment to prevent any type of risk.

How much does it cost to automate a business?

In practical and investment terms, automating a manufacturing facility by purchasing robots or new digitized and networked machinery almost always involves a relatively large outlay. However, the move toward industrial automation can also be less costly.

 

ROBOTIC CELLS FOR LEATHER GOODS

Tuscany, our land of origin and where Tera Automation is based, is the cradle of leather accessories manufacturing. This long-standing tradition began in the mid-nineteenth century in artisan workshops. The modern and innovative turning point came thanks to Guccio Gucci, founder of the homonymous fashion house, and it is thanks to this evolutionary path that the latest generation of robotic cells can really make the difference in the production line of leather and leather accessories and items.

Industrial automation for quality control

The quality control of a company is a useful tool to prevent any kind of problem that could occur on the finished product. The processes of quality control are also functional to the management of relationships with suppliers, called to ensure the quality standard required to meet, and satisfy as much as possible, the demands of customers.

Industrial automation: what it is, benefits and applications

Industrial automation: what it is, benefits and applications

Industrial automation can be described as a discipline or as a set of technologies and functions. Its advantages, characteristics, and peculiarities, however, are many and depend to a great extent on the fields of application.

Industrial automation and ingot production: minting vs casting

Industrial automation and ingot production: minting vs casting

Minting and casting are two different ingots production processes in which industrial automation can bring significant advantages and invaluable automatic process control. But let's see first what their main characteristics are.

ROBOTIC CELLS FOR WELDING

Welding is an extremely demanding process, and today industrial robotics is making daily strides in the evolution of robots that can replace humans in a complex and risky task.

ROBOTIC CELLS FOR THE GOLDSMITH SECTOR

Jewelry is a product that never loses appeal in the market, both for its value as a luxury good and as an investment, and as a source of gratification. The prospects for the future, even if to be remodeled compared to what was the past, are therefore there, considering the important role that the luxury sector, and therefore also the goldsmith sector, has made in the Made in Italy industry.
